Lingenfelter Fuel Pump
Good morning! Thought I'd save everyone the trouble of reading my old post and just start a new one. Long story short, I need a new fuel pump. I'm looking at the one on Lingenfelter's site
http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/l710650197.html
The site says:
My car is a completely stock 1999. I recently purchased the car and while I have no upgrades planned right now, it is a possibility in the future. I figured, while I'm replacing the pump, I might as well replace it with a high performance one... However, for the time being, will this fuel pump be suitable to use with a stock motor? Will the additional fuel flow cause any problems with an otherwise stock system?
Thanks, Dan

The site says:
Lingenfelter offers this in-tank fuel pump for high performance applications where the standard pump is not capable of supplying sufficient fuel flow. Designed be a direct replacement for the 1997-2003 Corvette and is perfect for turbocharged or supercharged applications
Thanks, Dan

Great! Thanks to everyone for helping me diagnose this. Any advice on whether or not this is a good brand? It seems to be what everyone else is buying. Also, will I need to purchase anything else such as gaskets?
On the topic of fuel regulators.... My dad owned the car before me. He passed away a little over a year ago.
I'm gearing up to replace this fuel pump and figured I might as well replace the filter/regulator while I'm at it since I had no idea if my dad had ever done it. So, I'm cleaning up in the garage yesterday when what should I find? GM10299146, brand new fuel filter! Thanks dad!

The Lingenfelter, according to the picture, is strictly the pump. The OEM and other "pumps" include the fuel level sensor/sending unit and the hose connections into the tank.

I posted in your other thread some on-line sources for the OEM unit, the above image is from ..

From what I know Racetronix only provides a harness for the fuel pump to provide a more stable voltage source for it's operation.

Ok, thanks for all the replies. I think I'm just going with the LPE. I read through the instructions on their site and it looks like everything will work fine. Should I decide to upgrade later I can always buy the harness seperately.

Lingenfelter Fuel Pump and new fuel filter installed last night after work..... hardest part was figuring out how to drain the fuel. 
I found that by removing both the pans protecting the fuel tank, and placing a large bucket underneath, I was able to drain it pretty efficiently by loosening the bolts on the pump housing. After that, it was pretty easy, and the car starts up and runs great! Too bad I was working on it till 4am!

I just installed my LPE yesterday as well. Not a bad job at all. How did you end up working unitl 4AM?
For future reference, here is how I drained my tank. It worked really well

Thanks for the reference on draining the tank. I actually saw your post when trying to figure out the best way of doing it. The thing is, my pump was completely dead, so jumping the rely didn't do anything. I also was working with VERY limited tools. Hence the 4am! The fuel pump actually gave out in the parking lot of my workplace. Luckily we have a warehouse, so at least it was warm, but tools... they were scare, as I only had what I brought. BTW, that little clamp ring inside the housing is a PITA without the proper tool. I wound up having to use needle nose pliers.... now I worry every day that it's gonna give out on me! I know it probably won't, I got it pretty damn tight, but it still bothers me!
Quick side note, I changed this thing after work, started around 8 and didn't finish till like 4am.... the next morning, everyone in our office complex was complaining of a "gas" smell!!!! Everyone in my suite knew it was me, but other suites thought there was some sort of a gas leak. The gas company came out, it was a big scene! Oh well....
